You are on a roll. Just finished reading 2nd book in girl spy series. The truly terrible pun at the half way point was worth the price of entry. I'm revisiting The Dave and on 2nd book. Just need 3rd Space opera and some more WW2 time travel for a perfect year. No pressure.

I am sure I have been served them in local pubs. Tasted very familiar. Good tucker.

Nice fairing that. Paid $20 for mine at swap meet mid 80s. Swapped it for headlight indicators etc when flagged down by madly waving laverda owner. Only one I have seen in South East Queensland Australia.

First time I visited about 50 years ago it rained so hard our bus got bogged in old campsite very close to rock. 60 school boys managed to get it out. Been back 3 times since and got rained on twice. Took kids out there about 25 years ago and it was the only dry visit, didn't believe about waterfall

I had an ST, worst standard seat I have ever ridden on, flat and wide. Was a one bike conga line solo on back roads, handled much better with sidecar.

Nice bike, GPZ1100 B1?

He is a dog. A Naysayer, who contributes nothing and tears down by reflex. The kind of Qld copper who even other coppers hated. He is all about him and has been rewarded for his lack of morals with wealth and power. He would do well in drumpfs America.

Much fun. Just about finished leftovers for lunch today. Always welcome. The singing was particularly memorable and grandchildren may be scarred for life.

The GSX1400 absorbs this kind of nonsense with ease. Mine had over 215,000 km on it on original clutch and fuel pump at 23 years old. I shout it an oil change yearly, brake and clutch twice a decade.
